Started playing last night, how do I set it so it records a demo at the beginning of every match?

You can't in baseoa, just type in your console:

\bind o "toggle g_synchronousClients;wait 8;record;toggle g_synchronousClients"
\bind p "stoprecord"

Then to start recording hit 'o', to stop hit 'p'.

To "record a new demo on each map change" use:
/cl_autoRecordDemo 1
and to make the change permanent:
/seta cl_autoRecordDemo 1

One problem you'll notice very soon is that the demo browser is horrible. The filenames which are longer than 18 chars are written over the next column, the files created when you use cl_autoRecordDemo can cover up to 3 columns (out of 4). It's very hard to find something in that mess. See the screenshot.

It's not really a surprise, considering the support there is for recording and viewing a demo. It's a shame. :(
